Duration 22 sessions in 6 months span
Eligibility Std 5 or 6
Methodology
Starting from July 04, 2021
From Sunday Science School, you will receive 2 to 3 kits each time, which will cover up to 4 sessions. The kits will be sent by safe courier. There will be delivery of kits at multiple times during 6 months.
The program schedule giving week by week topics and activities will be shared at the time of beginning of the program. There will be a few Holidays on occasion of Diwali and other festivals. The schedule will have these holidays clearly mentioned.
On each Saturday, except pre-declared Holidays, YouTube link of new video will be shared. The Video will cover brief theory of the topic and steps to perform activities using a particular kit. Students are expected to do the activities on Saturday.
On next day, i.e. Sunday morning, there will be 40 min Zoom session to discuss the topic further and answer questions of students.
We will share password to access animated and graphic based Digital Science text book of either Maharashtra
thState or CBSE Board for Students of 6 Std . This access will be limited for current academic year.
After every 4 to 6 sessions, there will be a special “Exploration Time” activity for students. Using material from given kits, a unique small box, by name “Curiosity Box” and home-based things, we will ask students to Explore the concepts further and do some activities. The results should be shared on group. This will trigger habit of self-learning and Exploration.
To summarize the program, it will have multiple benefits to the students -
Exploring different science concepts through experiments.
Video based discussion on topics by experts from the field.
Exploration of different topics with help of “Exploration Time” activities on periodic basis.
Access to Digital content for academic preparation and revision of topics.
Salient features of SSS Intermediate Level
SSS Intermediate level for Academic Year 2021-22 is much different that same level of previous years.
The topics chosen are carefully selected covering maximum syllabi of std 5 and 6 and also keeping in view, topics of other competitive exams, like Homi Bhabha or NTS.
Activities are selected from all three subjects of Science, viz. Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Children will find these activities very interesting and exciting.
Videos giving crisp theory and steps to complete the activities of a particular topic will be shared with students periodically. It will keep interest of students alive through out the duration of the course.
Objective question papers based on the topics of the course will be shared Two times during 22 week program. Students will solve these tests to assess their understanding of the topics discussed during SSS sessions. This is the way Sunday Science School will help students to assess and improve understanding of science.
Graphic and animation based digital content of science text book of Maharashtra State and CBSE Board will be made available to every
thstudent of 6 std for duration of current academic year. This will help student for self-study and revision of all science topics. This is the new feature of SSS program to help students during this pandemic time.

Putting Curious minds into Action
It has been a consistent attempt by Sunday Science School to help young curious minds to explore science at their own pace. SSS believes that busy hands of kids will make their brains busy. Busy and creative brains can bring out wonders !!!
Kids are curious by their very nature. They wish to know “why?” of many things around them. Their curiosity is often suppressed by many factors prevailing in the society. Our school system often suppresses curiosity rather
than encouraging it. Encroachment by modern technological gadgets has made kids addictive to them, suppressing their curiosity further. Even parents also often fail to nurture curiosity of kids due to other
pressing demands.
Let children become active doing science by hand at SSS. Let them explore. This will rekindle curiosity in their mind. Their busy hands will make the difference. SSS has all its programs designed to
achieve this outcome. Join SSS to make the change.
What is Exploration time?
Science exploration by children must continue beyond the sessions conducted by SSS team. Children must try few things on their own. That is the real meaning of Exploration !!
During this program, after every 4 to 5 sessions, we will assign you a few tasks based on the topics discussed during few previous sessions or on some other common topics.

KUTUHAL Group
“KUTUHAL” group is working actively for promotion of science and math activities
through indigenously designed DIY kits since 1994. It has always strived to add to the joy of
learning.
The group, through its pioneering company, “KUTUHAL Science Activities Pvt Ltd” designs and manufactures science activity kits for students since 1994.
Sunday Science School...
Sunday Science School, a company to facilitate “hands-on” science activities for students and teachers was formed in 2010.
Sunday Science School has designed “hands-on” science programs ranging from 1 hour science activities to academic year-long programs.
SSS has also launched syllabus mapped activities for standard 3 to 10. All such “hands-on” programs are designed with activity kits and experimentation material given to students on take-away basis.
Our vision is to inculcate habit of
experimentation in young minds at
formative age and to imbibe scientific
thinking in them. This is possible through
‘hands-on’ science activities from young age.
They develop scientific attitude and enhance
qualities like Curiosity, Observation skills,
Analytical approach, Problem solving
techniques, Creativity and Patience.
Science is mostly taught in didactic way in our
country, which results in children either fearing
the subject or adapting to rote learning to
secure marks. Our vision is to make children
aware that science should be understood
through active learning, experimentation and
observation. Students should know and
understand that science is a way of life and not
just a subject.
Our Vision
